I have 3 of the switches and would like to set them up so when we are gone they come on like someone is home. I have not been able to find a way to do it. Any help? Mike

There does not appear to be a Vacation Mode for the switch. However, you do have a couple options:

  • You can set a schedule to turn lights on and off at certain times per day.

-OR-

  • If you have a spare Wyze Plug, you could set that for Vacation mode. Then set a Rule to power on the switch when the plug goes on and off when the plug goes off.

The setting is under Controls on the Switch Home Page:

Thanks for the info. Not sure how I missed that.

I don`t see any information on the Vacation mode and only says on or off . Does it turn lights on and off randomly all day or only after dark? and if after dark all night ? Do you have to set it up ? I just installed four of these switches and find information a little vague .
Thanks
Kevin

I believe vacation mode is similar for all products that have it:

  • Vacation Mode turns your lights on and off at random intervals between 6AM-9AM, and 6PM-11PM local time, when you’re most likely to use your lights.
  • The light will turn on for between 5 minutes to a full 60 minutes.
  • The light will turn on at least once per hour.
  • While Vacation Mode is active, it will remain on until you turn it off.

Thanks newshound that is exactly what I was looking for .

Just installed several Wyze (light) Switches, with the idea of making my place look “lived in” when I’m away traveling. I was looking for details such as what Newshound has posted here. Not sure where this came from, but wish it were included in the Wyze App.

Wish they had a mode for these lights and plugs to be triggered relative to sunrise and/or sunset. We’re approaching a sunset time of around 4:30 pm this time of year, while in the summer it goes as late as around 8:30 pm.

Just a follow-up to this previous post I made; I later found THERE IS a method that triggers the switched relative to Sunrise and Sunset. It just wasn’t where I was looking/expecting it. Found it under the “Schedules” section of “Settings”.
